What intelligence?

       Let's see if I understand this situation correctly. We have the FBI investigating the White House to see if any of the President's campaign people colluded with Russia. Then we have the head of the House of Representatives intelligence committee, who runs to the White House to tell the campaign people what the FBI is doing and, who knows, maybe what information the FBI has on any individuals.
       Then Mr. Nunes, the head of the Intelligence Committee, apologizes and said maybe he shouldn't have done what he did. Hold on a minute. He's the head of the "intelligence" committee. Shouldn't that position require at least a modicum of intelligence? That committee isn't a department of the Trump administration. Mr. Nunes was not elected to advise Mr. Trump on secret investigations of the FBI simply because he was privy to conversations with the FBI.
       And still the House Representatives can't see any reason why it should be necessary to appoint an independent commission or a special investigation. I'm sorry, but the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives does not have the intelligence to keep things to themselves. Ya don't go running to someone outside the House to tattle on the FBI. You shouldn't tattle even to other members of the House or Senate, or anybody else. How dumb are they?
       Rep. Nunes is a surrogate of the Trump administration. Shouldn't he have recused himself from the investigation into the Trump campaign people and Russia? If I ever have to go to court, I hope I can have a close friend or relative on the jury. Everybody would be happy for themselves if we all could. But it doesn't set a very good example, now does it?
